THE RIGHT SERVICE AND SOLUTIONS FOR PROGRAM SUCCESS!

PLANNING & SCHEDULING

Our Consultants possess the essential skills and solutions to Establish and Manage Comprehensive Plans & Schedules, from developing Winning Responses to Proposal, Establishing a Performance Measurement Baseline, Re-plans through Contract Closure. We have advanced experience with common industry tool-sets such as MSP, OPP, Primavera, and can easily adapt to home-grown applications.

We establish sound planning techniques early, so risks can be reduced while increasing the probability of executing to, or ahead of plan. Our robust project structures become building blocks to comprehensive plans that provide management, the customer, and project stakeholders a high confidence that the contractual scope has been captured. This sets the stage for analyzing progress, assessing forecasts, and ultimately capture actuals for parametrics.

By Thoroughly Analyzing the Statement of Work and Organizational Requirements, we coordinate with all stakeholders to merge the technical scope, cost, schedule and performance parameters into a Low Risk, Executable Baseline Plan. We develop the appropriate hierarchy of visibility from IMP to Tiered IMS, allowing stakeholders at all levels a means to validate progress towards contractual obligations.
